Louise Bourgeois He disappeared into complete silence Publisher : Dilecta

Louise Bourgeois created 'He Disappeared into Complete Silence' in 1947, at the beginning of her career, two years after her first personal exhibition. This dense, magnificent and very rare book because printed initially in about ten copies, contains nine engravings of the artist (fac simile reproductions) with a brief narrative text. Texts invented by Louise Bourgeois are short and surprising stories looking a bit like haïkus.

We find, associated with engravings, surprising architectures, solitary characters, objects in unusual situations.

The publisher reproduced this work in its size and layout of origin, completing only the English text of its - very first - French translation.
